Joe S August 31, 2012 for Model Number rgd4400vqo timer motor runs on normal high and low heat settings but not on the other two settings would i need to replace it
1 Answer Joe, No, it's not likely you need a timer WP8299764 if the timer operates properly on one cycle,but not on another there's a very high chance, you have heat issue, usually a clogged or restricted exhaust vent pipe or vent hood, not a timer issue. On the "auto dry" cycles, the dryer has to reach the proper temperature(155 dgrs.) in order to complete the circuit to the timer motor so the timer can advance. If the temperature isn't correct, the timer won't operate properly. Read More...
Harold S August 27, 2012 for Model Number rgd4400vqo Timer motor only runs in timed high and low heat cycle won't run in air fluff.
1 Answer Hello Harold. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the timer WP8299764 is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Dc June 08, 2012 for Model Number REX5634KQ0 For a while, the High setting on our timer would work a while, then quit. You'd have to spin it around a few times, then it might stay on again. Now, Only one setting, the LOW setting works on our Roper dryer. When we set the timer to High, or Fluff, it will not come on. Does this mean it needs a new timer?
1 Answer Hello DC. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the timer WP8299764 is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Brenda B. May 04, 2012 for Model Number Roper REX5634KQ0 My dryer will not start at all, drum turns and there is power going to it.
1 Answer Hello Brenda. You will need to test the door switch WP3406105 and the dryer thermal fuse WP3392519. The thermal fuse is located on the blower housing and the door switch is located on the front panel. The door switch should read closed for continuity with the door closed and the thermal fuse should read closed for continuity as well. If either on of these are bad, it will prevent the dryer from working. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Roger April 23, 2012 for Model Number RDX5634KQ2 When I start my dryer it will heat up for the first cycle then will stop heating and the timer never moves I have replaced the igniter. Do I need to replace the coils.
1 Answer Hello Roger. It sounds like the coils 279834 are bad on the unit. Check the coils 279834 and see if they test good. You can test the coils using a multi-meter MA-DM1. The two prong coil will read 1,000-1,300 ohms, and the three prong coil will read 1,300-1,400 ohms across prongs 1&2, and 500-600 ohms across prongs 1&3. Test the coils after running the dryer for about 10 minutes.

Chris April 22, 2012 for Model Number rgx5634kq2 The timer quit working so I replaced the timer but the new one does the same thing. When I set it, it will stay in the same spot and not move. I looked through the peep hole and it will glow and start the flame and run but when it goes out and tries to fire back up it will glow but no flame. What do you think the problem is.
1 Answer Hello Chris, Sounds like a coil on the safety valve has failed. The kit containing both coils 279834 should cure the issue. Read More...
Rena March 31, 2011 for Model Number RGX4634KQ1 My timer stopped moving, working, (it stays in the exact spot I set it to,wont ever run down and shut off) and the dryer stopped heating at the same time. Is this what I need to replace?
1 Answer Hello Rena. You will need to test the thermal fuses W11050897, flame sensor WP338906, igniter 279311 and the coils 279834. The thermal fuses, flame sensor and igniter should read closed for continuity. If the dryer is not heating properly, it can cause the timer motor not to receive power. Hope this helps. Read More...
